Plus: HHS defers $1.07B in Medicaid funding to California and Minnesota over fraud concerns. The day's rules, money, and enforcement, sourced and tiered below.

| American Health Intel Rules · Money · Medicine · Decoded daily The Ledger Sunday, July 26, 2026 UHealth and UnitedHealthcare still without a deal, 5 days to deadline Plus: HHS defers $1.07B in Medicaid funding to California and Minnesota over fraud concerns. The day's rules, money, and enforcement, sourced and tiered below. ![](https://americanhealthintel.com/email/pulse-divider.png) Other Confidence: High UHealth, the University of Miami's academic health system, and UnitedHealthcare, the nation's largest insurer, still have no new contract, now just 5 days from a deadline that could take UHealth out of network. The July 31 deadline is unchanged since we first covered this July 22\. UHealth says United hasn't offered fair rates; United says UHealth wants outsized hikes. Medicare Advantage members keep coverage through August 31 under a separate deal. Why it matters If you or a family member is a UnitedHealthcare member in South Florida, watch for an out of network notice, though a deal could still land before July 31.

California loses $867.5 million, Minnesota $199 million, spanning 14 flagged claims categories. Both states dispute the fraud framing and are weighing legal challenges. It's a deferral, not a permanent cut, but the cash is frozen now. Why it matters If you live in California or Minnesota and rely on Medicaid, especially in-home care, watch for payment or service disruptions while the review is underway.
